I don't think I'm alone in my thinking here. Over the past month, r/UFOs has seen a large number of posts featuring videos that, for many of us, are easily identifiable as conventional aircraft or other mundane phenomena. While it’s understandable (and highly encouraging!) that the recent flood of sightings originiating from NJ has inspired people to look up and record things they believe to be anomalous, some of these clear misidentifications (and you can see my previous post showing some examples) dilute the quality of the discussion thread and can lead to ridicule of the entire community.

This isn't meant as a criticism of individuals trying to contribute, we want everyone to get involved, but I don't think it should allow us let our guard downs as individual posters. I think we all have a responsibility to each other, and to ourselves, to undertake a bit of due diligence before we post. I'm not saying people should be undertaking a full investigation themselves, but a careful and diligent few minutes can help in determining whether a video constitutes what many here would deem truly anomalous.

What I would like to see happen:

There is, below, several steps, which if followed, means you'll help the community to focus on genuine anomalous evidence and which in turn will improve the overall integrity of our discussions and help prevent the subreddit from becoming oversaturated with questionable material.

So you've seen something in the sky that's made you question what is was, and you managed to record it. That's a really good thing to do.

Now that you have the recording, you should consider the below.

First Step: Basic Verification

  1. Check for known aircrafts:
  • Look at this guide explaining the different types of lights. See whether the lights you see accord with any of these. If it does, it is very likely to be a plane. See also the object's shape - is it consistent with a commercial plane?

  • Have a look at Flight Radar to see whether there are any scheduled for the time you made the recording. Input your GPS coordinates or your location, and see whether any planes made that journey.

  • Check your proximity to airports, military bases or known flight paths.

  1. Consider the environment:
  • Could lens flare reflecting off lights be it, could it be a planet or star miscontrued as an object? Other known mundane explanations that could account for it are flares, chinese/sky lanterns, star link, other satellites... and the dreaded one that we all have probably miscontrued... balloons.
  1. Camera Settings & Quality:
  • Could the object's appearance be due to low resolution of the phone or digital zoom?

Second Step: A check against what we know as the "Five Observables"

  1. Sudden and Instantaneous Acceleration: Does the object appear to change direction or speed in a way that defies known aerodynamic limits and would be harmful to a biological pilot?
  2. Hypersonic Velocities Without Signatures: Is the object moving significantly faster than known aircraft, yet leaving no sonic boom, contrail, or heat signature?
  3. Low Observability: Is it genuinely hard to observe details even with proper camera settings and stable footage? Or is the blur simply due to camera quality.
  4. Trans-Medium Travel: Does the object seamlessly move between air, space, and/or water without a noticeable transition or loss of performance?
  5. Positive Lift Without Traditional Means: Is the object hovering or maneuvering without visible wings, rotors, or exhaust, defying normal aerodynamic principles?

N.B. If your footage does not display at least one of the above, it is likely not a geniune UAP, or not something we can really progress further with given it presents nothing anomalous.

Third Step: Provide context with your post.

This recent post encapsulates this perfectly. If you do decide to post:

  • Location and Time: Exact coordinates or, if you're not comfortable, location of the nearest city, date, and time, to help others verify flight records or other possible activities in the area.

  • Equipment Used: Camera model, lens, zoom etc. any details like that would also be helpful for people who have a greater understanding of photography and the drawbacks of certain equipment used to record the object.

  • Witnesses: Was there anyone else there beside you, and did they make any comments on the object?

My final thoughts:

I am not asking that everyone becomes seasoned investigators - that is ultimately what we will aim to do as a collective here - but a few minutes of diligence and scuritiny can preserve the subbreddit's credibility. By applying this framework and reviewing the Five Observables, we can focus on geniunely anomalous evidence and deepen our understanding. Ultimately, none of us want this topic to be made a mockery of, and we are the first hurdle in preventing that.

By taking these first steps ourselves, we ensure that what rises to the top here is worth everyone's time and attention.

Original Title: Ross Coulthart: "kids have been misused by our military in experiments, with non-human objects, designed to engage NHI. An NHI consciousness, maybe god, is trying to engage humanity, individually, to tweak our consciousness. Debunkers say its BS. But its real. In the coming weeks you will see why"


The below was said by Ross Coulthart (timestamp 37:05):

Btw he clearly says its a hypothesis, but he also says that he has seen some things himself. I recommend everyone to watch the video segment for yourselves, to see which parts Coulthart states are true and which are his hypothesis.

This is only a speculative hypothesis on my part, but it is based on work that I am doing that is increasingly focusing on what I believe is a consciousness connection to the UAP phenomenon. I do think that there is a link between what we call psychic phenomena, telepathy or psionics.

I do believe that there is a connection between human psionic abilities, telepathic psychic abilities, and consciousness. And that the UAP phenomenon is tied into that. And I suspect this is one of the largest reasons for why this is being kept secret and for why the NHI are not overtly showing themselves.

There's a few things I can't tell you right now, that I'm going to be reporting on in coming weeks. I'm very excited to be bringing you that story, but I do know that the Air Force has been working on psionics for many many decades. They never stopped investigating the power of the human mind and Consciousness.

Ever since the Stargate program and the remote viewing program [...] I know all the supposed debunkers say it's BS, but I can tell you it's not BS. I've seen it for myself and it's real. And in forthcoming weeks you will see why I say it's real.

I believe the United States Air Force has knowingly deceived Congress, successive president presidents, the American public, and the world, about what it knows for far too long. It's time for this story to be told.

NHI consciousness tweaking human consciousness

I think the NHI are showing themselves in our skies to tweak our consciousness. To make us humans aware of capabilities that many of us don't even realize we have. And I've seen those capabilities demonstrated in recent months. I know they're real and I frankly don't give a Flying F... what the debunkers or the Skeptics or the trolls would say about that. It's real and they will soon be eating Humble Pie.

The capacity for the human mind to engage externally with some kind of uber consciousness has been speculated about in science. [...] What if uaps are merely a manifestation of something that is above and around us, a consciousness, some might call it god. Yeah I know this is heavy stuff, but what if the purpose of its engagement with the human race is to slowly tweak our awareness and to encourage us to use abilities that we don't even know we have.

Experiments with prepubertal kinds and NHI objects

I'm very interested in hearing from people who were part of the gate program 20 to 30 years ago, who found themselves in rooms with US Air Force officers and strange psychologists in white lab coats, showing them on occasion strange apparently non-human objects.

Yes this has been happening. Young kids, prepubertal kids have been misused in experimentation by our military in experiments designed to develop an understanding of how to engage with the Phenomenon. With a consciousness. And I think at the same time that NHI consciousness is trying to engage with humanity individually.

NHI contacts humans individually

Heres something Garry Nolan (timestamp 00:00) said yesterday, that also related to how humans are approached individually by NHI:

... the non-human intelligence, maybe their objective is to embody within us as, let's say children or as schoolchildren, ideas, but we're not ready for certain kinds of complex ideas. But they have to find amidst the mass of humanity, those individuals who are capable of understanding the idea and then transmitting it to others.

Children playing with non-human objects

Just a note, some abduction / experiencer accounts also involve children (and adults if im not mistaken) being encouraged to play with non-human objects. Ill try and find a source, but from memory i think this involved floating things, things that changed shape, things that had an effect on mind.

Sheehan: humans dont have the telepathy to pilot these craft

Recently Daniel Sheehan said:

Sheehan: But the problem is that the pilots, the people that we train as pilots, have a different level of consciousness than is necessary to fly these craft, because the craft are run telepathically. And they (human pilots) don't have the capacity to fly these things.

So the question that arises then is whether or not there is some sort of agreement between elements of our national security state and some extraterrestrial beings that may be participating with them in piloting these craft. But i'm sure they're not going to allow them to be used for military purposes, to give advantage to one nation state over another. There's a lot more information that we need to have about this, and we will get it.

If humans are using NHI objects to experiment/train children, then this could be part of the "NHI participation" that Sheehan talks about.

God, or aliens, NHI?

You may wonder why he talks about god, when Grusch has said that bodies / biologics were recovered. And Sheehan and many others talk about some hierarchy of species (mantis beings, tall grays, short greys, etc.). So what does god or some disembodied consciousness have to do with it? This is because one of the hypothesis is that these biological beings are intermediaries:

Garry Nolan: "the intelligence community thinks the greys are intermediaries". John Mack thought so too. Intermediaries to who?

Those who have witnessed the prying eyes in the sky say the drones keep popping up in the late nights hours. Mike Walsh first spotted them in mid-November -- he now sees them all the time.

"We've been seeing them every night, except Thanksgiving. I guess they took the night off," Walsh said Monday.

This is ONE MAN. And I have seen this thanksgiving day off info being passed along so fast, and I’ve seen it literally change the minds and tide of a discussion in real time on Reddit, but is it true?

taps tinfoil hat stay safe.

Original Title: Jay Stratton and the team at the UAP task force (including Dave Grusch) have received a National Intelligence Meritorious Unit Award for their outstanding work on UAPs. They " Applied highest levels of analytic rigor", "Raised Awareness" and "Removed Stigma". Are skeptics paying attention?

I woke up this morning and checked on the New Jersey drone situation and saw this about how they are being seen over Staten Island now. At this rate, will they be expanding out to other states in a few days? Hopefully once they are flying over the city more often, it will become a bigger deal people.

It’s going to be tough for everyone when these drones suddenly stop appearing, and the Gov goes on and acts like it never happened. Even individuals who advocate to close friends and family to pay attention to this, will eventually be doubted once again. 6 months from now, expect everyone to look at this as the incident where the crazy UFO people thought planes and helicopters were drones. If this doesn’t end in answers, the whole movement will take hit!

Last night for the 2nd time, spotted weird low flying car sized drones. Checked flightradar24 AND ADS-B and nothing should be in the air. Checked my drone app, also nothing.

I'm charging up 6 batteries today, tonight and any time in the future I spot these drones my plan is to send my own drone up to get close up video of this. If it is a drone, then I'm crashing my drone into it to bring one down.

The government failed us, repeatedly saying they pose no threat. Sorry, but only an idiot would think flying over military bases and power plants poses no threat. I don't need my government to tell me what's a threat or not. If I get any footage I'll put it up on here. Anyone else have a drone, they should do the same. The time for Americans to depend on themselves and not theor government is now!

I also own a 4,000 mw laser. It was the world's most powerful portable laser years ago when I first bought it. It literally can set a tree on fire from quite far away. It has a diopter that allows me to focus it at any distance. I'll have it on a tripod outside with me also.

So here's NJ drone footage from a former US STRATCOM pilot. The drone passes over a local airport in one video:

Now, a Reddit user (ExMachaenus) commented the following, identifying the type of drone present in the STRATCOM pilot's daytime video. Upon visual comparison, it seems he's correct. You can look it up for yourself and the characteristics certainly match. This also explains why the one day these drones weren't sighted anywhere in the last few weeks was Thanksgiving, since the operators presumably had off. (save this incase the post gets removed). Here is his comment:

"I think it's a PteroDynamics XP-4 Transwing drone.  Note the stubby nose, straight side wings, and long tail with dual forking fins, visible in the first Twitter/X vid in OP's post at 0:19.

The PteroDynamics XP-4 is being developed for the U.S. Navy as a recon and logistics drone, capable of picking up and dropping off packages between land and a moving ship, including in high seas and high winds.

As the name suggests, it's a transwing design, which transitions between quadcopter and fixed-wing modes for both long-range flight and VTOL capabilities. So it can hover pretty much at will.

Officially, it has a one-hour flight time at max payload, but could have been upgraded.

It's about 13ft wide by 6ft long - about the dimensions of a compact SUV, consistent with witness statements.

And it's flight path () leads directly from the coast up to northern NJ. And, wouldn't you know it, right where it's most commonly seen, we find Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, home of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), whose whole job is to research, test and support aircraft for navy combat operations.

This also explains why it's appearing every night, and how it's sticking around so long: It literally has a home base to swap batteries at all night long.

And why they're not talking about them: it's their drones, and they don't want to advertise.

TL;DR: At least some of the Jersey Drones are, most likely, experimental VTOL drones being tested out by the Navy, likely running nighttime training missions between NAWCAD Lakehurst and a navy ship offshore. "

Also take note of what they say in the video. (credit to Reddit user KheyotecGoud) "they also talk about their test range in Colorado, which is where the 2019 drone wave was and when investigated they said “we have no idea but we don’t think it was government”. This is a good explanation for who was behind the 2019-2020 drone sightings in Colorado.
